Recorded in Los Angeles and New York City at various points in 2011, A Very She & Him Christmas sees the duo stepping back slightly from the layered, lush aesthetic of their critically acclaimed second album, Volume Two. Deschanel and Ward let the songs speak for themselves, oftentimes recording them with just acoustic guitar and vocals. Deschanel’s soulful vocal delivery and Ward’s impressive guitar work -- the elements that have made She & Him one of the most loved bands of the last few years -- both sound as timeless as ever.
Destined to be the highlight of the 2011 Christmas new releases, there's not much to say about She & Him that hasn't already been said. Zooey is too adorable for words, M. Ward has the talent to pull off brilliant understatement and, together, they make beautiful stripped down pop tunes that harken back to the days when music was music. Their appeal is both wide and deep. With a touch of kitsch, a touch of nostalgia, and more than a little bit of good old fashioned soul, She & Him are making modern classics. I fully expect their Christmas album to become an annual favorite.
A portion of all proceeds from "A Very She & Him Christmas" will go to support 826 National.
